Christian motivational speaker

Hold That Door!

October 22nd, 2012|

In the fall I spoke for a two-day conference, one hour from our home. My faithful and worn out husband was taking the weekend off since arrangements had been made for me to be helped by some others. I had just landed at the DFW airport since I was coming from some speaking engagements in […]

Guess Who I Met: Tony Evans

October 19th, 2012|

Our family is originally from the Midwest. While raising our children in Central Illinois, I enjoyed doing my work with the radio on, tuned into our Christian network. It was a friend to me and at times a lifeline in those busy years of child rearing.  My laundry room was tucked away with its […]

Living Life to the MAXX!

October 15th, 2012|

Last Saturday I had the joy of being a keynote speaker for a company called, “DYNA-MAXX.”  Their enthusiasm for life and its potential was contagious.  The audience of several hundred laughed, cried , applauded and determined to take it to the next level.  Afterwards, talking with many at my book table enriched my own […]

Guess Who I Met: John Hagee

October 12th, 2012|

During the years my husband was a pastor in Illinois, we attended a pastor’s conference at Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas, pastored by John Hagee. It was outstanding, and the limited attendees kept it intimate with personal time to get to know others well.

Friends of ours from Georgia were some of the guest speakers […]

Facing a Challenge

October 8th, 2012|

Facing a challenge? One of the most challenging things for me on a weekly basis is church and the “meet and greet” time. You know, when the Pastor says to take a few minutes and greet those around you before sitting down. Without sight, I never know if I am shaking someone’s hand or […]

Guess Who I Met: Senator William Ligon

October 5th, 2012|

In a day when people have become cynical about politicians on both sides of the aisle, they often lump all of them into the same heap with career gluttons and ineffective history makers with little to no backbone. However, each office holder has a story and life outside the public eye. What incredible joy it […]

In a Flash

October 4th, 2012|

A few years ago I spoke fifteen times in eighteen days in the nation of Spain.  My books were translated into Spanish and our first international transaction was completed. Our trip included my husband, Tony, and our youngest children, Lydia and Connor. We also brought our own  interpreter and translator of our books, Raquel, […]

Visual Acuity

September 24th, 2012|

When we moved to Dallas in 2000 I was excited to finally be living in a city where even a blind woman could get a license! Have you seen the drivers here? I think they cannot see clearly either.

Eyesight might be essential for driving but vision is what will drive you. Nothing is impossible. […]

Scams

September 20th, 2012|

I received two scams in the last 24 hours that were slick. One was a speaking invitation from England and the other notification of an inheritance of a dead relative. Both sounded appealing and were well written and almost believable. What if one day I really miss my millions and refuse a trip to […]

Still McReaching II

September 17th, 2012|

Admittedly, it was a bit disconcerning to be booked on a flight to the east coast at the same time hurricane Irene was arriving. What once seemed like a special treat to be lodged on an island in the Golden Isles of Georgia, while speaking to several audiences, suddenly seemed comical and understandable—discounted rates […]
